David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell’s email secret

Former CIA director David Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, discussed their extramarital dalliances using an email technique favored by Al Qaeda, according to a report.

Rather than sending emails back and forth to each other, Petraeus and Broadwell shared an email account where both would write messages and leave them in the “draft” folder, according to The Associated Press. The other person would then log in to the account, read the draft email, delete it and then compose a response, also to be left as a draft note.

People, view EVERYTHING that comes out on these people thru the eyes of protecting the White House/Al Capone.....If these people need be destroyed to keep info from coming out, so be it.Render their testimonies dubiousIF they survive to TELL the Benghazi Story.

In a separate twist in the tangled matter of Mr. Petraeus's resignation, the CIA disputed a theory advanced by Ms. Broadwell that insurgents may have attacked the U.S. consulate and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 in a bid to free militants being held there by the agency. Ms. Broadwell suggested that rationale for the consulate attack in an address at the University of Denver on Oct. 26.

"I don't know if a lot of you had heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back," she said then. "It's still being vetted."

A CIA spokesman said there were no militant prisoners there, noting that President Barack Obama ended CIA authority to hold detainees in 2009. "Any suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless," said the spokesperson.

Some critics pointed to Ms. Broadwell's remarks in Denver as an indication that she may have been passing on classified information, leading to speculation that Mr. Petraeus may have been the source. Based on descriptions by U.S. officials, the romantic relationship had ended by then.

In addition, the source of her comment may not have been intelligence information, but news reports. Earlier in her address, she cited findings of a report that day by Fox News. Immediately after, she mentioned the possibility that the CIA had held militants at the site, which the Fox report also mentioned.

If David Petraeus was asked to leave his office because he had actually breached ethics, laws and compromised national security that would be one thing, but it seems the real pickle in this messy salad is the fact that it suddenly occurred to someone high up that one day the public would come looking for answers as to the conduct of the US and major operatives in its dealings and that maybe rather than risk facing real examination and a reigning in of its powers it merely chose to conveniently push its token Queen bee out of the beehive reasoning that they would be taking out the incriminating fingerprints with them out the front door.

Which raises the awkward question will the public dare come looking for answers anyway....?

Another guy to throw under the bus. Can't let anything come out that might make Obama look bad. Putting a finger in the dike will only work for so long. But "He Won", so Politico and the other responsible media did a hell of a job covering for him.

Interesting that the unraveling of this whole mess began with an FBI agent with an affinity for Republican politics who thought he might be uncovering something that could embarrass the President. He stoked this investigation and when the FBI finally determined that there was no "there" there, he made a b-line to a Republican congressional friend who forwarded the info to Eric Cantor who then began to quietly spill the beans.

Now, the newly re-elected President who clearly had NOTHING to do with this scandal is plugging along and the people being "taken down" are the heroes many Republicans have been lauding for years.

Not only does it seem odd that it took something so minute to get the FBI to infringe on the privacy of so many, even people. Then one of them breaches confidentiality and blabs to Cantor. Now it seems like the entire agency is blabbing to the press.

It isn't the CIA that we should be worried about here. The actions of the FBI are extremely disturbing and there seems to be an absence of professionalism, ethics and purpose in this entire debacle.

For once, I don't fault Cantor. The FBI agent who blabbed should be fired.
